CORONA-FACTS

Data and facts are emerging several months into the Coronavirus pandemic that are worth noting. The fears that existed around flying post 9/11 are akin to many of the misguided fears about pandemics.

DENSITY 1. Manhattan County’s infection rate per capita is almost identical to

that of Dallas County, Texas at 19,091/million versus 18,959/million.2. Manhattan County’s infection rate per capita is less than HALF that

of Miami-Dade County in Florida which is around 43,600/million.3. Manhattan County’s infection rate per capita is slightly lower than

Palm Beach County’s at 22,182/million.4. Many highly dense cities around the globe have had lower infection

rates than much less dense places.

ALL THE PEOPLE ARE GONE!1. Manhattan attracts over 60 million tourists per year. That is about 5

million per month. With travel and hotel lockdowns, this will return once a vaccine and/or effective treatments emerge.

2. New York has about 1.6 million DAILY commuters coming to offices around the city. Only about 10% of those people are back so far. That will increase over time and dramatically escalate once a vaccine and/or effective treatments emerge.

3. Fewer people will work daily in offices. Most will work at least a few days in offices.

4. Many Manhattan homeowners spend summers outside of New York City. Many own, and many more have bought second homes.

By January 2021, New York City will look and feel very different to that which we are witnessing today..
